This morning I had a call with IQC’s Andrew Childs and we pinned down our summer project. The goal is to investigate the analog of “Levinson’s theorem” (originally formulated for general scattering problems) for the case of scattering on graphs. Levinson’s theorem basically relates the phase shift of a scattered state to the bound states [...]

I didn’t know much about either so I found a couple review papers, as well as some key papers by Andrew Childs, the researcher at [...]
